My tiny miner.
A few years ago I bought a small open frame PC case to test components but then it ended up in a closet for a few years. I've recently got it out of hiding and cleaned it up and installed some spare parts I had lying around. I will be using this case as an altcoin miner in the near future. All the components installed now are basically place holders just to give you an idea of what it looks like when everything is installed.

It's a pretty solid little case and was very easy to assemble. I think the most difficult part was removing the protective covering on the acrylic pieces. I think this will work just fine for a small rig with 3 video cards. I will post more pictures as the project progresses.

STOPThat is a nice way to get started, I own that exact test bench and use it often for testing out new cards before moving them to a 6 or 8 card rig. Hope you eventually grow yours to a six card rig in the near future. :)
Thanks for the comment. I hope to eventually get a serious rig going soon but graphic card prices are just ridiculous. Any tips on how to get them at better prices? I've been surfing Ebay and everything is used and still selling for top dollar.
What model cards are you looking for and what is the model you are using now? I see its an Nvidia gtx something, but I couldn't make out the model.
In my main PC I have an ASUS GTX 1060 3GB. Once i find a cheap motherboard that can hold more video cards I'm going to swap it to this case.
